Answer

$\displaystyle \frac{\sec^{4}x}{4}+C$

Work Step by Step

$\displaystyle \sin x\sec^{5}x=\frac{\sin x}{\cos^{5}x}=\tan x\sec^{4}x$ $I=\displaystyle \int\sin x\sec^{5}xdx=\int\sec^{2}x(\sec^{2}x\tan x)dx$ Substitute: $\left[\begin{array}{l} u=\sec^{2}x\\ du=2\sec^{2}x\tan x \end{array}\right],\quad$ $I=\displaystyle \int\frac{u}{2}du$ $=\displaystyle \frac{1}{2}\cdot\frac{u^{2}}{2}+C$ bring back x $=\displaystyle \frac{\sec^{4}x}{4}+C$
